Those classes are The Ameriflex Hose A Modifieds, Ameriflex Hose B Modifieds, Grand Nationals and Pure Stock. The speedway is currently under going construction which made it a little hard on the girls in the concession stand. It was a packed house and we do appreciate all the fans bearing with us till we get everything finished. More about all of that in a later story. Back to racing!
